Ilenart said..The sale price was always likely to start with a 3. Lots of UFO 34's, S&S 34s and similar yachts have recently sold for less than $30k. For mid 40s you would probably need a lot more new gear, ie $20-30k worth of gear to add $10k to the price

I hear you. I guess it is the "$1,000 per foot mentality" in action.
Way back I bought an alloy Peterson 42 for $75k, owned it for 6 years and sold it for $110k, but that was then not now. I am sure I evaporated a fair bit more than $35k during the time I had it.
